“I have worked with Richard over the past ten years both at Michael Page and since he started his own business, Oakleaf. One of Richard's key attributes is his direct and open approach and his honest analysis of any given assignment. He is clearly in touch with the market and provides access to high calibre candidates that are consistently right for the assignment that he has been given. From a candidates point of view you will get direct and honest assessment of your own suitability for a role or a company culture.”

"Having lived my childhood abroad in Hong Kong, Brunei, Nepal and Germany, I moved to London where I joined Saatchi & Saatchi.

After three years I was keen for a new adventure and travelled to and around Australia. I returned to join a global recruitment company before needing to satisfy my thirst for travel again when I took a year out to explore Central America and do charity work. After a short spell teaching my path crossed with Richard and I joined Oakleaf Partnership in August 2005. The rest is history! It’s been fantastic to be part of a new and developing organisation and time has literally flown by. I focus on recruiting HR professionals into the Financial Services sector.

I ran the London Marathon 2001 (also beating Richard!). My most recent travels have included trekking Machu Picchu and the Himalayas."
